Looks like the two and a half men are moving on down to Thursdays.

You know how it seemed for many years there like Smallville would outlive us all? Well, it won't.

For months, rumors have abounded as to where Conan O'Brien would end up to start his new talk show. While it appeared as if it was going to be Fox, various affiliate issues bollixed the deal, leading Conan to his new home at... TBS? Apparently, current TBS talk show host George Lopez was willing to bump his own Lopez Tonight back an hour in order to give Conan the 11:00 time slot, but not every other basic-cable network was willing to make such a sacrifice. Here are some of the offers on the table that Conan felt it necessary to walk away from.

Last night Conan O'Brien arrived at his new basic cable home with Andy Richter, Jimmy Vivino and even the Masturbating Bear (surprise!) in tow, and the show felt... a little like both of his old shows! It was stiff and cautious at times, like The Tonight Show was, and then there'd be a five minute video sketch about Conan getting assassinated at a toll-booth, Godfather-style (I remember reading years ago that he'd begged Entertainment Weekly to let him do that on their cover and they refused, so glad TBS is really making his dreams come true here) and it felt like the relaxed silliness of Late Night all over again. The premiere as a whole wasn't exceptional, or even exceptionally funny throughout, but there is probably wisdom in starting out cautiously. Either way, I really wouldn't say it was a bad episode, so that certainly is something.

If for some reason you didn't stay up for 24 hours to witness every second of Conan's Team Coco Live Cam yesterday and this morning, the good folks at TBS have put quite a bit of it up on YouTube (in handy edited form) so we can all catch up on the most enjoyable publicity stunt since the McRib without losing any sleep. I watched some of it live yesterday and a lot of it today, and I have some favorites. I bet you do, too! But here are mine:

It is official. There are no new ideas for television shows. TBS (which I have heretofore only tuned into for My Boys and Seinfeld) is debuting a "microseries" about commuting. I was subjected to the horror that is Carpoolers and that was not funny. Watching people do what I'm forced to do for an hour each day is not entertainment. Apparently this teeny tiny show (which starts tonight during Sex and the City) that is basically in place of commercials, will focus on four women who chat while going back and forth to work together each day. If this is anything like the conversations I overhear on the bus (people need to quit it with the cell phones in enclosed public places), I imagine it will be completely riveting and involve a lot of discussion about bad boyfriends who forget to call them late at night, what kind of foods give them gas (awkward when you are sitting next to them) and what color they should make their bridesmaids wear for their upcoming dream wedding that they are planning really quickly because their bitchy frenemy just announced that her wedding was going to have the color scheme they originally wanted. These are actual subjects I've heard girls gabbing about in just the last three weeks while riding back and forth from NY to NJ. Like I said, fascinating stuff. Better still, Commuter Confidential is being sponsored by Match.com and Revlon, so it will probably involve the girls applying eyeshadow while driving and talking about how they've met their soulmate on the internet. I almost feel bad for the poor writer who sold out their ambitions to write these presumably lame minisodes. Almost.
